Cimatron’s Sponsored Webinar on Design & Manufacturing Integration Attracts Hundreds of Toolmakers
Over 250 tooling executives registered to view an online web seminar (webinar) hosted by American Machinist Magazine and sponsored by Cimatron. The webinar explored how integrating the design and manufacturing processes can help optimize tool shop operations. A recording of the webinar is now available on the Cimatron website at http://www.cimatrontech.com/
Keynote speakers at the session included Bruce Vernyi, Editor-in-Chief of American Machinist, Sam Golan, CEO & President, Cimatron Technologies, Inc., and Len Graham, Founder of Len Graham Consulting, and Acting Director of Mold Manufacturing/Engineering, Omega Plastics, Inc.
Graham, with more than 40 years experience in plastic injection mold making and the creator of the “Super Cell” concept, shared with viewers his roadmap for automation. “The objective of automation is to do more work at lower cost and with greater predictability. Implementing automation requires a new approach that involves people, process, and technology. Many automation initiatives fail to recognize the importance of these three elements and fall short on delivering the anticipated results,” said Graham.
“Looking at design and manufacturing as an integrated process can help toolmakers and manufacturers accelerate delivery times and improve product quality, while operating in silos can hurt productivity and slow things down,” added Sam Golan. “Our goal is to help toolmakers better utilize their assets and resources, get more jobs, and be more competitive and profitable.”
